Hi Tomer.

It seems that the system registry stores the incorrect information about the Excel type library. What version of Office do you use? Have you ever reinstalled MS Office several times on your PC?


P.S. Note that we take up your forum requests in the order we receive them.
Besides, it may take us some time to investigate your issue. Please be sure we will let you know as soon as the best possible solution is found.
